IMO don't ruin a 91 hatch with some ghetto swap. Nice ones are starting to go back up in value. They are cool little cars.

I'd keep the 91 Si as a weekend car and use the EP3 as a daily.

why ask this here? of coarse everybody says get a ep3.
I love the gsr motor in my 91 hatch, and the car.
it comes down to which body style you want, and how much work you want to do.
